The spring is bright and the afternoon sun is particularly gentle.
Li Yu took Lao Qin, He Bing and others back to the base.
Before entering the base, on the rural road after the national highway entered, Li Yu pointed to a row of private houses and said to Lao Qin:
"Uncle Qin, there is no one in these houses now. You can live here when the time comes. In addition, it is also very close to the base. If anything happens, you can use the intercom directly.
If you have something more important, you can come directly to the base to talk about it. It’s not far away, just a few hundred meters away.”
Lao Qin and others looked at the row of private houses. Most of them were three-story buildings with a yard in front.
Some surfaces are covered with ceramic tiles, while others are ordinary red bricks and tiles. Aluminum alloy glass looks good too.
Lao Qin nodded, expressing satisfaction.
Li Yu added: "The young man who came with us today is in the car behind and introduced to you. He Bing and the others are also nearby. They are opposite this row of houses and separated by a road.
.”
Lao Qin smiled and said, "Yeah, Mr. Li, you are thoughtful. Thank you."
Li Yu said politely: "This is nothing. Now I will take you to the base to have a look and get to know the way. I will bring you back later."
The current base is adjacent to a rural road, but there is a section of dense forest on the cement road leading to the countryside.
The forest completely covered the base, so if you were just passing by on the country road, you wouldn't be able to see the base at all, and you wouldn't have thought that there would be such a large base behind the winding road.
Surrounding the rural road, there are many houses on both sides of the road.
These houses are basically private residences, and they are mostly made of bricks. Most of them are occupied by non-staff personnel, as well as some people who have admired the Da Zhangshu base for a long time.
The return of Li Yu and others made the second uncle and others who had been staying at the base feel relieved. This time they went out, they did not return on the same day as originally planned.
This made everyone in the base very worried. Uncle Li Yu even planned to lead a team to Chen City this morning to look for Li Yu and others.
In fact, Li Yu and the others did not expect that so many things would happen in these short two days.
Originally I was just going to transport a lathe, but who could have expected that I would meet the White Lotus Sect, my uncle's former comrades, and even someone like Wu Laoer on the way back, whether it was before the end of the world or in the end of the world.
The hooligans behind.
This all proves what Li Yu said before: in the end of the world, the most dangerous thing is not zombies, but people, but the human heart!
The vehicle slowly drove outside the base. The zombie wave in the past few days left many zombie corpses outside the base.
When I returned today, the zombie corpses outside the base had been cleaned up, and the ground had been tidied by the earth compactor.
The problem of the trench being too narrow and too shallow, which was exposed before, is now being improved. The trench at the gate alone has been widened and deepened.
He Chao was directing some people to drive the excavator to dig the trench deeper.
At this time, when they saw the vehicles of Li Yu and others, they stopped one after another and looked at Li Yu and others.
Li Yu also saw them in the car, rolled down the window, and greeted them: "He Chao, are you busy?"
Over at He Chao, seven or eight people saw Li Yu and greeted him one after another:
"Mr. Li, you are back!"
"Hello, Mr. Li."
"Mr. Li."
....
He Chao got out of the car, ran quickly, arrived in front of Li Yu's car, and reported some recent progress.
Li Yu briefly communicated with him and encouraged him a few words.
Then he asked Li Tie to drive the car into the base.
On the wall of the base, the uncle and others had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw Li Yu and others' vehicles approaching, they immediately opened the gate.
Lao Qin and others, who were sitting in the back seat of the car, saw the ten-meter-high wall after coming in from the rural road.
stunned
They knew that Li Yu and the others had a base, but they thought it was a base that was larger than the lathe factory, with at most higher walls.
But I didn't expect that the wall alone would be so high.
Moreover, the fence is made of poured concrete, and the gray wall looks very thick.
There is even a higher lookout, and there are two small steel cannons and two heavy machine guns on the wall. There are more than a dozen fully armed personnel standing on the wall.
What the hell...
Isn't it just a military base?
This wall can only be seen from the direction of the gate. The end is not visible. The hundreds of meters of wall in front of you already shows that this base is not small!
He opened his mouth slightly, with a look of shock on his face.
Not only Lao Qin, but also Lao Zhou, A Hong and others in other vehicles were all shocked.
He Bing felt a little proud when he saw their shocked looks, but he never thought that when he saw the base for the first time, he was much more shocked than Lao Zhou and the others.
This time He Bing and others successfully brought the information about the lathe and transported the lathe back together. According to the original agreement, Li Yu would give them the remaining grain.
Lao Qin and others have never met their second uncle and uncle. This time when they go in, Li Yu plans to explain the situation and introduce everyone to them.
The gate opened and vehicles slowly drove in.
After entering Wengcheng, the uncle brought Li Haoran and others over.
After Li Haoran came down, he excitedly rushed to Li Yu and asked: "Brother, I see there are a lot of things in the car, and there are many strangers. Is this a new member?"
Li Yu smiled and nodded, and then said to Lao Qin who was getting off the car: "Uncle Qin, come here and I will introduce to you the situation here."
Lao Qin got down, then walked towards a car next to Lao Zhou and his friends, asking them to come over.
Li Yu turned around and looked around at the people who came down. He didn't see his second uncle. In the past, every time Li Yu went out, he could see his second uncle when he came back. However, this time he didn't see his second uncle, so he was curious.
asked a question.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The uncle pointed in the direction of the back door and said: "Your second uncle is at the back door, leading a patrol. He was notified just now and is on his way here.
Li Yu nodded, and then introduced to Lao Qin, his uncle and others who came over: "This is my uncle. He used to be the captain of the county armed police force. Now he is mainly responsible for the protection work in the base.
This is Lao Qin, a former comrade of the third uncle. Next to him is Lao Zhou, who is with Lao Qin. They are all Communists. It happened that the lathe factory we went to was working there before the end of the world.
He stayed there ever since.
This time, thanks to them, they helped us transport the lathe back."
Lao Qin quickly said: "When it comes to helping, Mr. Li and you have helped us more. We are really lucky to meet you, Mr. Li, this time. If it weren't for you, we might have fought to the death with the White Lotus Sect.
"
Listening to what they said, the uncle thought that Li Yu's third uncle had always been a mysterious figure. Later, when he learned about the work that the third uncle had done before, he was so shocked that he felt that something was wrong with the third uncle for several days.
It's so ridiculous.
That is the best special teams team and the best team in the entire system.
He had only heard of it in legends.
Unexpectedly, Li Yu's third uncle was not only in this special team, but also the captain.
According to what Li Yu said, this was his third uncle's comrade-in-arms, and it seemed that he was not a simple person.
So with a smile on his face, he greeted Lao Qin and others: "Welcome, we need talents like you in our base."
After a few people exchanged simple greetings.
The second uncle also arrived here and saw a trace of doubt on his face when he saw the strangers next to Li Yu.
But since Li Yu had already thought about bringing him in, he must have considered it, so he didn't take the initiative to ask.
When Li Yu saw his second uncle coming, he also told his uncle about the situation of Lao Qin and others.
After talking about it, the second uncle suddenly realized it, and then he was delighted.
At present, the base has 140 people in the inner city and 40 people in the outer city. In total, the number of people in the base and the outer city has reached 180.
There are currently more than 40 non-staff members, but most of them work alone or in groups of two or three, and there are also some talented people among them.
Taken together, there are more than 220 people.
However, there are currently no people like Lao Qin and others who can not only produce in factories but also have good combat effectiveness.
Now there are nearly thirty people at once. If these people are absorbed, the strength of the base will reach a higher level and be greatly improved.
There are currently more than a thousand unopened guns in the warehouse. They cannot be distributed directly to people outside the inner city.
The second uncle happily held Lao Qin's hands and said sincerely: "Welcome to join. Your joining is really a timely blessing. Welcome, warmly welcome you."
Seeing Uncle Li Yu, his face turned into wrinkles with a smile.
The third uncle who had been standing behind had a faint smile on his face when he saw the expression of his second brother.
He is a little bit annoyed. He knows very well the virtues of his second brother. His second brother has been shrewd since he was a child, and even more so after he got into business, but he is really good at what he does on the surface.
When Uncle Li Yu saw the second brother like this, he knew that the second brother actually did not completely believe in Lao Qin and the others.
Although he is his comrade, he can understand his second brother. After all, being cautious is a sign of being responsible for the base and his family.
After everyone chatted for a while, Li Yu explained the original plan to his uncle, second uncle, and others.
He also told his second uncle and others that Lao Qin and others have now joined the base and become non-staff members of the base.
Hearing this, the second uncle even excitedly said to Lao Qin: "Old Qin, I am 43 years old and I am two years older than you. From now on, we will all be our own people. In fact, in our base, as Li Yu said,
There is not so much mess, they are all my own people.
But, everything must be done according to regulations, you should be able to understand this, right?"
When Lao Qin heard the first part, he understood a little bit, but when he heard the second part of the rules, he was a little confused.
The second uncle saw him like this, so he said: "Although our base can grow crops, it is not easy to feed so many people, so the rules set and the distribution of food must be based on contribution."
.”
Lao Qin nodded and said, "Yeah, I understand very well. This is right. I support it with both hands."
Li Yu interrupted and said: "Second uncle, this lathe this time is their contribution, and it can be exchanged for food according to the contribution value."
When the second uncle heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "This..."
Then after seeing Li Yu's persistence, he finally relaxed his brows and said, "Let's be realistic. Some things still need to be made clear. Logically speaking, the items are to be delivered here, and you have to transport the items yourself.
That counts.
Now it is Li Yu and the others who transported it back. However, since we are all our own people and we are the comrades of the second brother, and if we look at it from another perspective, it can be regarded as being transported here by Lao Qin and the others, so we will calculate it according to our contribution.
.”
Li Yu nodded and said, "Let's just calculate it this way."
Lao Qin looked at Li Yu gratefully, a team must have rules, rules are very important.
Li Yu looked at his second uncle and understood his purpose.
"Courtesy first, then soldiering", although it doesn't sound good, but the rules must be established first. The bad guy, the second uncle, does it, and the good guy, Li Yu, is left to him.
The food problem is the biggest problem in the last days.
We cannot give them the idea that if they join the Da Zhangshu Base, they will have no worries about food and clothing. We must explain the situation clearly to them.
After the second uncle saw that Li Yu agreed, he did not express any objections. He just explained some basic rules in the base, the situation of exchanging food, how to join the outer city, and how to join the inner city.
Li Yu waited until his second uncle finished speaking.
So he asked Song Min's younger brother Song Qi and Li Haoran to deliver the food.
Including the grain given to Lao Qin this time, as well as the grain given to He Bing, because Lao Qin and the others transported more lathes, so they exchanged more grain.
He Bing also put in a lot of effort on this trip, so Li Yu decided to give them 50 more kilograms of grain.
He Bing and others were very happy when they heard that they could add more food.
Waiting for the exchange to be settled, Li Yu thought for a while, since Lao Qin and others cannot be allowed to directly enter the inner city now.
But Lao Qin and others are quite familiar with the use of lathes, so they need to install and use them.
Therefore, Li Yu decided to temporarily place these lathes in the urn city in the outer city and the inner city. There is room for them in this urn city.
In addition to the scientific research room originally built here, there is also a large space of over a hundred square meters. This can be used temporarily.
After Lao Qin and others have reached their contribution points and can enter the inner city, they can move all the equipment in.
Or, should we build another outer city?
Such an idea flashed through Li Yu's mind.
Based on the inner city, build several outer cities connected to the base to serve as satellite cities to protect the main city. This is also good.
These thoughts just passed through Li Yu's mind.
After seeing that everything that needs to be introduced and explained has been done.
Lao Qin and others stood there, waiting for Li Yu and others to take them out.
Li Yu explained again that he would ask Lao Qin and the others to come over again tomorrow.
After finishing speaking, after thinking for a while, Li Yu moved five bottles of old wine, two strips of bacon, and a strip of Chinese cigarettes from the warehouse and handed them to Lao Qin.
After Lao Zhou and others saw it, they were drooling.
In this apocalyptic world, when you are so nervous all day long, who wouldn’t want to take a few sips to relieve fatigue and relax?
Lao Qin quickly declined: "It's too expensive."
Li Yu smiled and said: "This is not exchanged for your contribution this time. You are my third uncle's comrade-in-arms and also my uncle. Uncle Qin, this is my personal thought to express my welcome to you!"
Li Yu was very forceful and moved these things directly to Lao Qin's car.
Lao Qin could only smile bitterly and look at Li Yu with some emotion.
Living in the apocalypse, he has lost all human etiquette. When Uncle Li Yu explained the rules to him just now, he understood and could agree with it.
But it's still a bit uncomfortable. After all, it will be under the jurisdiction of Li Yu and the others.
At this time, Li Yu's attitude made him regard Li Yu as his nephew, and now he gave such precious things to people like himself.
He felt valued and sincere.
When food is scarce in the last days, these things will be even more scarce.
But Li Yu gave these things to himself without hesitation.
Lao Qin was very moved.
(There will be more later, but it will be a bit late.)
